Do you have weapons replacements?

I want to know for my upcoming multiplayer map oc_oasis(thanks for the name Shifty) and I was thinking about turning off crosshairs making people use iron-sights, for more of a challenge, but it seems weapon replacements mess this up... so if the majority of people have weapon replacements, it would discourage use of the map.

Ive always been a bit of a purist and I don't bother with skins for weapons, all are default.

I guess I just like to be able to be with others and show off a bit. Hence why I love player models.

Ah, well, player models shouldn't interfere at all with this.

Though even I got weapon replacements... I got sick of the old ones... maybe if OC could update all the default models to look really good.

:D I'm loving all the credit I've been getting lately.

I don't use replacements either but I'm going to be using the SMOD Outbreak replacements soon because I've grown fond of them. If you haven't played that mod yet I suggest you give it a go.

And you deserve all of it, your very skilled when it comes to mapping.

I haven't yet, I'll have to give it a try soon. And it also seemes your going to have replacements soon... I might not end up disabling crosshairs...

I use many skins in OC, but i will list 1 of them: seburo for the smg1.(it has iron sites, it doesn't go off the screen like other skins do, but it still goes in the middle of the weapon)

Wait, if I place weapon models in my map's BSP file with the same name and directory, would it replace people's weapon skins?


(bsp)models/weapons/v_IRifle.mdl

Would this override the player's Ar2, even if he has a skin?

Yes but it won't overwrite them for any other maps except the one it is bspziped into.

That's good, then, I could override skins, thus allowing them to properly use Ion-sights.

And it wouldn't interfere with other maps.
